Jimmy Butler, according to reports, could return from the Glute injury for Warriors vs. Rockets Game 4

The Golden State Warriors were against the Houston Rockets for a buttock injury without Jimmy Butler for Game 3's 104-93 victory on Saturday, but it seems that he could return to a decisive game 4.

Butler worked for the Warriors before the game on Saturday and “there is a belief” that he will be back for the 4 -year game on Monday.

The Shams Charania from ESPN provided more information about Butler's injury during an appearance at the NBA Countdown from ESPN before game:

The team initially listed Butler as questionable for the Matchup on Saturday due to a pelvis and a deep bridge of the buttock muscles, which he suffered against the Rockets in the first quarter of the 109:94 defeat on Wednesday.

Charania previously reported that Butler was “serious danger” of the missing game 3.

In 30 regular season games for the Warriors, Butler scored an average of 17.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds after having come from Miami Heat in a deadline. He scored 25 points on the Golden State's Game 1 win and had broken three points before ending the Matchup on Wednesday.

Backer to get back for game 4 would be a big boost for the Warriors because they want to take over a 3-1 series at home before the series for game 5 withdraws to Houston.
